During this period about twenty thousand people visited the Museum, a number that in itself shows the public appreciation of the impor- tance and the generosity of a gift which added over 40 per cent, to the exhibition space of the Museum. Certainly Mrs. Evans may well feel the satisfaction that only comes to those who render a great public service in a great way. ADMISSIONS The following is a comparative statement of admis- sions for the years 1913, 1914, and 1915: Paid Free Total 1913 25,125 194,625 219,750 1914 19,659 185,450 205,109 1915 19,982 247,229 267,21 The increase in admissions is due doubtless to the opening of the new building and the consequent increase in the number of works of art exhibited. 12 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS The following is a comparative statement of the number of annual subscribers and the amount of annual subscriptions for the years 1913, 1914, and 1915-' Number of Annual Amount of Annual Subscribers Subscriptions 1913 IJ25 $37. 487-00 1914 1,710 38,584.00 1915 1,805 39,758.00 This increase is due presumably to the recognition that the larger service of the Museum entails a larger expense; and it is especially gratifying in a year of much financial distress and of many appeals for very human needs. CURRENT INCOME AND EXPENSES The following is a comparative statement of income and expenses for the years 1914 and 1915 : — 1914 1915 Increase or Decrease Unrestricted Income from Trust Investments $66,113.45 $67,488.97 1.

The deficit of this REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 13 year has been made up, necessarily, out of principal of unrestricted funds, as the deficits of other years have been, — a course certainly to be regretted and evidently incapable of long continuance. DEFICITS AND PURCHASES The running expenses of 1915 were $162,480.91. These cannot be reduced materially by added econo- mies. They can be reduced by closing a substantial part of the Museum and by giving up a substantial part of its force. But this would mean a great reduc- tion in the service to the public. Moreover, it would entail presumably a loss of public interest, and it might well cause a diminution in gifts and bequests which would injure the Museum far more than the current deficits do. Certainly this course should be adopted only as a last resort.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

The Club, which started out as a circle consisting of Peirce‘s own students in his logic class, held the total of 43 meetings, with 110 presentations delivered, of which 33 were classified as principal papers. These presentations, as we document in this paper, testify the club‘s impact on the development of the methodology of sciences in the late 19th-century United States. Of particular interest is the close relation of the new and emerging scientific approaches to philosophical, methodological and logical issues discussed by the Club‘s members.

During the period of con- struction, temporary quarters were secured at 414 Harvard Street. The new building stands upon the site of the old building which the Club had occupied since the year 1833. In order to celebrate in an appropriate manner the comple- tion of the work and the Centennial Anniversary of the Founding of the Porcellian Club, a committee, consisting of the Building Committee and the officers of the Club, was chosen. February 21, 1891, was selected as the date, and it was decided to have the Annual Meeting and certain Literary Exercises commemorative of the occasion precede the Dinner. The Committee has prepared this volume con- taining the Literary Exercises, a brief account of the Din- ner, and a catalogue of the members of the Club to date. A full account of the Annual Meeting and the Dinner may be found in the Club records. The thanks of the Committee and of the Club are due to Brothers Honorary Sargent, Isham, and Chapman for their contribution towards the success of the Exercises Literary ; also to Brother Honorary Hazeltine for his interest in pre- PREFATORY paring the plates for the memorial programme; also to Brother Honorary Painter for revising the Club Catalogue.

Here, too, is a Kennedy anxious to forge a base of strength and unity in his home state where Democrats have been almost entirely excluded from top elective offices, yet deterred by a traditional reluctance to be drawn into a furnace of conflicting local ambi- tions. One can go on. The parallels be- tween the situation of Sen. Edward M.

  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.
